Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Columbia Thermal 51-Ounce Stainless-Steel Coffee Press
Customer Review: Little disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
The coffee from this pot was amazing. The only downside to me is that it did not keep it as hot as I would have liked. By the second cup I felt I needed to heat the coffee up more. I put hot water in the pot to preheat it and used my warmest large tea cosy to keep the heat in, and the coffee still did not even stay as warm as tea does in my Brown Betty teapot. The best solution for me was to prolong the heat by drinking out of a thermal cup so that the heat the coffee did have was retained as long as possible. Those who really have to have their coffee hot may be disappointed. I am returning mine.Customer Review: Bodum SS Coffee Press
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the product-the coffee is very tasteful. However, I am disappointed that it does not keep the coffee hot for a very long time. I expected it to stay steaming hot for at least 45 minutes or so-and that is not the case. It is just really warm after that much time. The reason I went with the more expensive stainless steel model was so that I could leave the coffee in the carafe and have it stay hot. I find that I need to transfer the coffee to an insulated plastic carafe to keep it steaming hot. So, I could have just bought the traditional glass press and not spent the extra money on the ss.Customer Review: Great pot!! Great coffee!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my pot for about a week or more now and can't say enough good things about it. The coffee is yummy, it stays at a nice temp in this pot for some time, and it's very attractive.
The instructions that come with it mention not using boiling water due to possible damage to the glass carafe; not an issue with this pot which helps maintain longer hot temps.
My only complaint is that you will not get 12 full American cups coffee out this pot. I usually get 2 or 3 mugs max, but oh my, is it even possible to get a BAD cup of coffee out of this thing?!?! YUM!!
Customer Review: Great Craftsmanship, Great Coffee
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been happy with my Braun Coffee Maker with nonbreakable stainless steel carafe for the last several years, but coffee purists told me nothing could compare to the French press method so after careful research I bought this Bodum stainless steel French press. The purists are right: The coffee tastes richer, creamier. You can even see the difference in a side by side comparison.
My first time I forgot to grind the coffee off the fine setting and I had a few floaters, so make sure your coffee grinder is on a coarse setting.
Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Robust and Hot
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been struggling to find a home brewer that could deliver a 200 degree temperature for proper extraction of coffee flavor and delivery of a hot cup of coffee. I've tried the BUNN and Cuisinart consumer models but they just did not produce temperatures above 175 degrees. Well, this Bodum Columbia Thermal Press does the job in simple elequent fashion!! I received the unit today and was pleased with the quality and simplicity of the design, and most of all the robust hot coffee that is produced.
If you love your coffee, don't hesitate to buy this device.
